I also watched the Jacob Gellar video. I was hesitant to buy this game as it didn't look like it was up my alley. And to be honest, I didn't really get anything from this. I think the video essay said it all ... maybe too much. There just really isn't much here. There's better meditation apps and there's better VNs. Not sure what this game / app was aiming for. Jacob Gellar did make it sound more interesting than it actually was. [b]Rate 4/10. It was a nice attempt, but I just don't think it stuck the landing.[/b]

I found this game from the Jacob Geller video and I'm very glad that I ended up checking it out. It's a really unique merging of video game storytelling with the structure of a mindfulness app, and I found that while I was very into the story that was unfolding day-by-day, I was also kinda getting into the actual breathing exercises and writing prompts, which is something I wasn't expecting. I can say with confidence that this wasn't enough to get me to look into other mindfulness apps as I'm still skeptical of the institution as a whole, but I will say that this small, self-contained glimpse into that world through the perspective of what may be its most idealized, self-aware version definitely got me thinking about what it would look like if AI-driven, computerized therapy was capable of actually caring, which is an interesting thought experiment. In short, a brief and very unique, thought-provoking game.

this app helped me improve my productivity because therefore giving me value as a human! I was able to more efficiently justify my existence to business overlords and myself using the MOTIVATION from this app!!! I love capitalism!!!!

Nice little game! Imagery through the latter half of the game still sticks with me. The pain and heartbreak and bittersweet joy of being. Don't expect earthshaking narrative, but it's quite nice!

game taught me how to breathe. (also slightly eerie)

Really fun interactive self-help visual novel, for lack of a better term. Works equally well as a story and as an actual self-help app (to an extent). Cleverly written and occasionally even moving. Nothing to speak of in terms of gameplay, but hopefully if you're looking at this game you're fine with that.
